Olhos de Luar (feat. César Menotti e Fabiano)

Tião was a strong, cheerful, and fearless mulatto
Born out of love in the land amidst the plantation
He held the handle of the hoe and herded the cattle
Sadness was something that was never seen by his side

After work, he'd go to the bar for a shot of moonshine
He'd sing, play the guitar, and joke around
With a broad chest, a clear laugh, a friend to friends
He wasn't afraid of anyone, he mocked dangers

One day he felt on his face
The moonlit eyes of the boss's daughter
And a bittersweet, joyful, and sad feeling entered his heart
Tião wasn't the same anymore
After feeling the shine of that gaze
He felt the urge to cry for the first time

But the spell of the gaze entered like poison
The boss's daughter's gaze on his dark skin
Ah! That gaze had more light than the midday sun
The temptation was stronger, he couldn't resist

One day she came closer, a ray of hope
A man in love becomes somewhat childish
And then he spoke of all that he felt
He apologized for loving someone he shouldn't

And a tear rolled down from the moonlit eyes of the boss's daughter
Her white face blushed in the force of passion
Then heaven came to earth
When love exists, everything becomes equal
And love happened in the middle of the sugarcane field

But the boss's pride was still stronger
Honor is washed with blood, a vow of death
The fruit of this love couldn't see the light of day
At night, the sound of a gunshot and a body falls on the cold ground

But everything done here is paid for here as well
The bloodstain on the land never fades
For seven years, nothing else grew on that ground
And the night darkened the boss's eyes for good

But when it's a moonlit night
Some people have seen in the middle of the plantation
A black man leading a blonde boy by the hand
The two running through the field
Leaving an unmatched trail of light
A trail of love in the middle of the sugarcane field
